Desert Tortoises spend about 95% of their lives in underground burrows. It is exciting to be able to see one in the wild. They can be found in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of California, southern Nevada, Arizona, southwestern Utah, and in Mexico.
They are known to live as long as 60-80 years, and some may live even longer. Their appetite is enormous. Grasses and annual wildflowers are their favorite food.
